Pro-Life
My ass.
Abortion provider George Tiller was shot to death today, in the lobby of the church he attended.
This man helped women with difficult decisions regarding their own bodies, health, and lives.
Another man, who believed his God wants more births, shot up a church to kill him.
I don't care which side of the debate you take. This is wrong on every level.
And if you honestly believe that some gestating cells, the potential for a human life, have some sort of equivalency with this man's existence -- especially if you bring up the knee-jerk argument about "late-term abortions" without realizing that late-term abortions are almost always performed as a last resort to save the mother from being killed by an unviable pregnancy -- then perhaps you should ask yourself precisely what "pro-life" means to you.
I'm sure we'd all be fascinated by the answer.
